Complaint Investigation Report

Allegation: Staff at the facility are not monitoring resident's blood pressure

Interview with the reporting party (RP) revealed that the facility has not been monitoring R1's blood pressure (BP). Interview with S1 revealed that R1 has not requested for the staff to check their BP and they have not received a doctors order stating that it is required to monitor R1s BP. Interview with R1 revealed that they have not requested the staff to monitor their BP but would prefer staff to do it. LPA reviewed R1's medication list and doctor's orders and there were no instructions that BP has to be monitored and checked.

Based on interviews and record review during visit, the allegation that staff at the facility are not monitoring resident's blood pressure was found to be unsubstantiated. A finding that a complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
